A field Painting

Visual artist. Born in Seoul in 1981. -The Paradox of Tranquility- The artist skillfully preserves a classical ambiance using traditional Korean techniques and materials, yet seamlessly maintains a contemporary sensibility. The concise yet modern composition and brushwork carry a classical elegance that bridges the gap between history and the present. While we may sometimes forget the past in our daily lives, our existence is an extension of history. Certain aspects of the artist's work, influenced by their unique experiences, evoke a sense of sublimity. The extreme experiences gained from facing the brink of death paradoxically express a tranquility of peace. The artist's creations paradoxically reinterpret life's chaos into serene tranquility. The artist's depiction of a tranquil blue sea grass invites us to calmly approach the door of peace amidst the myriad issues of life. In the artwork, one can sense a desire for reflection on our past and an expression of hope for something that can soberly or warmly illuminate our current lives. Paradoxically, the intensity of life is cherished, and the solace and rest offered by the tranquility of peace allow a respite from our complex existence. The artist adeptly integrates the emotions and philosophy derived from life experiences into the traditional techniques within the artwork. Seeking to complete the paradox of tranquility through the intensity of life, the artist whispers a journey toward spiritual sanctity within the artwork. Hwang Gyu-Cheol
